Liverpool v Manchester United predictions

It will be interesting to see how United approach it. You would like to think, with the squad and firepower they have got, that they will have a go. But we have said that before and they have parked the bus, so we will have to see what happens. It’s a big game for Romelu Lukaku. Now he is with one of the big boys he has to perform against the big boys.

Manchester United are a better team but Liverpool’s home advantage should help them get a draw.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea predictions

This is a hard game for Chelsea without N’Golo Kante or Alvaro Morata. They are two massive players and not having them will make a difference.

But Chelsea still have a good defence and Palace don’t have Christian Benteke so it will be hard for them to score. Man City were on fire against Chelsea and still only scored once, and that was a ‘worldie’, so that is what Palace are up against.

Watford v Arsenal predictions

This is a hard game for Arsenal. Watford were outstanding at West Brom. They were 2-0 down and Charlie Nicholas was doing the game on Soccer Saturday and every time they went to him it was Watford attacking.

It would be a big result if Arsenal won here. I know Man City scored six at Watford but Arsenal are not in the same class.

I wouldn’t put Mesut Ozil back into the side. He doesn’t work hard enough for the team. He is a top player but the least you can do is work hard. If you have got talent you have had a result – and he has talent – but I have seen players with much less talent than him have a bigger impact on games, which can’t be right.
